We raise White Dorpers because we are serious about our sheep. White Dorpers exhibit superior carcass qualities, hardiness, out-of-season breeding, exceptional maternal traits, quiet dispositions and non-selective grazing habits. They are a shedding sheep and do not waste energy producing wool. They are not a dual purpose breed... they are a meat sheep.

White Dorpers will produce more pounds of of quality lamb per ewe for you. They will give you a higher lambing percentage and a higher survival rate. Lambs grow quickly on grass and milk. That is how you increase your bottom line.

At Firethorn Farm, we expect a 200% lamb crop, with ewes birthing and raising their lambs without assistance. The majority of our rams gain .9 pounds a day or better. We codon test the rams we sell for breeding stock.
